Externet Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 - Does the amount of moisture mass in a hurricane influences its momentum, making it harder to change direction ? - The change in ambient temperature from day to night 'fuels' more or less the energy of a hurricane ? (as to late during the day mostly gaining energy ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Obviously changing the mass will affect the momentum. p = mv It also affects the angular momentum. Both come into play for changes in direction. Hurricanes experience torques that accelerate them north and east. http://www.sjsu.edu/faculty/watkins/hurricane.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
